Didn't he start one of the play off games? Or was that a sub appearance?

Hughton's comments on Towell today:

“I thought he was very good. He’s a fit lad, hasn’t had the games he’d have liked, got a whack towards the end, but I thought he covered a really good distance today.”

But he picked out 3 others as the best

And so what if he also selected 3 others for high praise - this is an Ireland forum.
After a long absence, Richie had a good game, received praise for his efforts and skill on the day and that not just from his manager.
Perhaps you had different expectations.

Devoted thread on his performance on the Brighton forum. There are opposing views and no real consensus but I think the majority were happy with his performance and feel he can provide an option for the first team.
